Tour
Upon entering, a grand hallway unfolds, defined by generous proportions and ceilings of 3.30 metres in height. Custom-made steel doors connect the hallway to the living areas, creating harmony and a sense of understated luxury throughout. The living kitchen forms the heart of the home — carefully proportioned, finished to a high standard, and directly connected to the outdoor space. Adjacent lies the lounge area, complete with a spacious sitting arrangement and reading nook. A separate storage room is also conveniently located nearby. The living room exudes calm and sophistication, with bronze steel doors subtly defining the space while allowing light to flow freely. Adjoining this area is a multifunctional room, ideal as a home office, guest suite, or additional bedroom, complete with its own bathroom. On the sleeping level, tranquillity reigns. Here lies a second bedroom and the master suite, fitted with built-in wardrobes. Additional storage space has been created beneath the staircase. The spacious bathroom includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, and toilet, complemented by a separate dressing area. Everything in this City Residence has been recently and comprehensively renewed — ready for immediate occupation. In total, the residence offers three bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms.

The Sanctuary
There are homes that, from the moment you step inside, simply feel right. The proportions, the finishes, the calm, nothing by chance, everything deliberately designed. George Gershwinlaan 245 is such a place. A city suite of stature, tucked away in the serenity of the Zuidas, where life unfolds at a rhythm of elegance and ease. What personally strikes me is the natural way in which the space reveals itself. The generous living area, the serene sleeping level, the secluded outdoor space, each element contributes to an effortless daily rhythm. This is not a home that impresses through grandeur, but through subtlety. Through the way light falls. How lines converge. How silence becomes tangible. This residence offers more than square metres. It offers a way of living — one that can be felt from the very first step across the threshold.
Design Vision
With the Miles Building, a distinctive architectural expression has been added to this part of the Zuidas, an area primarily defined by large-scale urban blocks arranged within a grid structure. Through its inner courtyard, the Miles Building introduces a more intimate character into this urban composition. The program surrounding the courtyard has been carefully modelled to allow the building to respond gracefully both to the neighbouring high-rises and to the adjacent Boelegracht. Oriented toward the sun as well as the long sightline across the water, the taller sections of the building fully benefit from their position. The connection to the water is further enhanced by a reflective pond that acts as a hinge, seamlessly linking the courtyard to the canal.
Living and Cooking
In the open living area, everything revolves around rhythm, light, and spatial harmony. The living and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another, unified by a warm herringbone floor and framed by full-height windows. This creates a natural transition between indoors and outdoors, allowing daylight to penetrate deep into the interior. At the heart of the space stands a sculptural kitchen island in soft beige natural stone, subtly mirrored by the vertical wall finish behind it. The kitchen is sleek, understated, and entirely custom-designed. With handleless cabinetry, a light marble backsplash, and matte gold accents, the composition is as elegant as it is functional. All appliances are fully integrated, allowing the design to take centre stage. Adjacent to the island, an informal bar with stools invites gathering, from quick morning coffee to leisurely dinners overlooking the terrace. The atmospheric lighting above the island, composed of geometric rings, adds a graphic touch and subtly marks the heart of the room. The sitting area feels bright, airy, and balanced. The rounded contours of the furnishings bring softness, while the expansive windows draw the greenery from outside inward. The arrangement preserves sightlines, toward the terrace, the dining area, and the kitchen, ensuring a constant sense of connection. The space is designed for living, cooking, and entertaining, not through rigid transitions, but through a natural sense of elegance.
Sleeping and Bathing
The sleeping quarters are located on the quietest level of the home, one floor below, carefully separated from the daily life above. Here, tranquillity prevails, with soft daylight filtering through high horizontal windows and a serene palette of sand tones and tactile materials. The primary bedroom is generous in size and features a custom-built wardrobe wall running the full length of the space. The atmosphere is intimate and cocooning, enhanced by the diffused light that gently shifts throughout the day. A second bedroom is currently arranged as a children’s room, playful, bright, and well-organised, yet equally suited for guests or a home office. The bathrooms are conceived as luxurious sanctuaries. The main bathroom features a freestanding oval bathtub, perfectly positioned beneath a softly lit niche. Double washbasins and a walk-in shower are seamlessly integrated into a composition of earthy hues, refined textures, and understated elegance. Nothing feels excessive, everything is in balance. The second bathroom, though compact, is finished with the same attention to detail. Equipped with a rain shower, a modern vanity, and mirrors with integrated lighting, it continues the warm, cohesive palette down to the finest detail, from the wall-mounted taps to the selection of tiles. This level embodies a harmonious blend of calm, privacy, and comfort, attuned to a way of living in which beauty and functionality meet effortlessly.
Outdoor Space
Directly adjoining the living area lies a sheltered and thoughtfully designed terrace of 17 square metres, enclosed by a green hedge and styled with warm materials and soft textile accents. This is not a conventional outdoor space, but an extension of the interior, a place to sit, unwind, and momentarily disconnect from the city.
